    Pochettino should really use this. Then he would have signed Wilfried Bony instead of Dani Osvaldo.

    I think you're confusing hindsight with foresight.

    Nope. In hindsight, Bony would have been a better buy than Odvaldo. Can you think of any other pieces of wisdom that become apparent with hindsight.

    All the best managers use it. And then write about it on saintsweb/not606/twitter.

    Yes, with hindsight I should never have married, I should have saved myself for Kylie.

    ... which in hindsight would have been a waste of time, as with hindsight she would have come looking for me

    for the promise of Kylie, you can :)

    with her it's about being the last one, not the first one.

    No, he could use hindsight and sign Bony in the past.

    With hindsight you should have foreseen this...

    Is Hindsight a euphemism for Allardyce in the thread title?

    If hindsight means seeing through your arse it might be.

    It isn't really hindsight at all. Bony was an obvious signing to make in the summer. He had a great scoring record, albeit in the Dutch league, and is at a good age with some great attributes. Plus, he would have been slightly cheaper.

    This post is completely out of order, as the thread has been hijacked by certain posters (who should know better) choosing to use it to make adolescent comments. Thus this serious, even football related comment is ruled out of order.

    Unless, of course, the "great attributes" comment was meant as a Carry On double -entendre, in which case it can stay.

    In my capacity as a mod on this board, can I deplore the whole silly tone of this thread and it's attempts at juvenile humour relating to temporal matters.

    What makes it worse, is that I just knew it was going to happen!
